Table 1. Biomass yields and biomass specific rates of alcoholic fermentation (qethanol) of the S. cerevisiae strain CEN.PK113-7D (wild-type) and the isogenic mutant nce103Δ in aerobic and anaerobic chemostat cultures sparged (0.5 litre·min−1) with high concentrations of CO2.

Data represent the means±S.D. for two independent chemostat cultures.
